TTCN Philosophy of Conflict Resolution

It is the philosophy of the TTC’s that many complaints can be resolved through open and clear communication, and should be resolved at the lowest level possible. Therefore, the student should first discuss the complaint with the instructor, administrator or student involved in the matter in an attempt to resolve the concern.

If the concern cannot be resolved through informal discussion, the student may file a written complaint with the office of Student Services or office of Allied Health. The Student Services Coordinator or Allied Health Coordinator will meet with the student, investigate the complaint, consult other TTC personnel or students as needed, determine an appropriate resolution, and notify the student, in writing, of the outcome.

If the student is not satisfied with how the administrators attempted to resolve the issue, the student may appeal to the Director. The Director may discuss the matter with the student and the Coordinator, and any other personnel he/she feels appropriate. The Director will provide a decision to the student within five (5) days of receipt of the appeal.
